Therapeutic Evaluation and Treatment of Toe Walking from a PT and OT Perspective April 15-17, 2016

This course will teach clinicians to develop interventions based on etiologies to produce successful long term outcomes. Through an organized evaluation procedure, specific data will be used to direct the clinician to potential etiologies. Causes and appropriate intervention strategies are identified in order to utilize a systematic approach to developing an effective treatment plan. Days 1 & 2 challenges the clinician to ask the correct questions in order to form a systematic approach to treating the child who "toe walks." As requested by previous participants, Day 3 continues with further detail on the role of reflexes & vision in equinus gait, specifically the assessment, implications & intervention. In addition, practical application of the assessment process for the modification of shoes & orthoses is presented. For additional information, click here.
